- pjmlp 10y agoI always wonder myself when I get to read ancient manuscripts and get to compare with modern days. As humans we always lived a kind of ups and downs, regarding use of technology, relationships among countries, how open/closed the societies used to be, how travelling was seen and so on. For example, in the ancient world there was already a kind of Erasmus, as Greek medicine students used to spend a few years with Egyptian doctors before getting back home and start practising.
